- Always marinate your chicken in buttermilk for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will ensure the chicken is tender and flavorful.
- For extra crunch, you can double-dip your chicken pieces in the bread crumb mixture.
- Allow the chicken pieces to rest for a few minutes after coating to let the breading adhere properly before frying.
- Maintain a consistent oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) during frying for evenly cooked chicken.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
Southern fried chicken is more than just a meal; it's a tradition. With these steps and tips, you can bring a piece of the South to your table. Serve it hot, paired with your favorite sides, and enjoy a meal that's truly comforting and satisfying.
